Almost Famous: SUNGLASSES

Sunglasses is the Savannah-based duo of Samuel Cooper and Brady Keehn, better known when they’re jamming as 8000 Bam Bam (a nod to Andre 3000) and Baby Seal. The duo met during post-production for Sam’s senior film project in college. Shortly thereafter they recorded and produced the songs “Referee” and “Whiplash” in Brady’s bedroom. Then just a couple of weeks after they made the vibe-inducing video for “Whiplash,” they were signed with Lefre Records, the same home label for Neon Indian and The Delta Mirror.

Awesome New Video from OK GO for “End Love”

Let me tell you what I love. Nerds, stop-motion, and when multiple people wear monochromatic unitards and then do synchronized dance moves (because it reminds me of the tasty rainbow that is Skittles). This new video from OK Go features all of the above, and is all sorts of DIY awesome, which just goes to show you don’t need CGI or controversial religious imagery over a crotch to make a rad video. Watch below:

New Video: Gorillaz “On Melancholy Hill”

I’m not going to pretend I understand what the acid trip is going on in this awesome new Gorillaz music video (directed by Jamie Hewlett) but here’s what I got out of it: Titanic overtones, pirate pilot bombers, super bad-ass girl with giant gun, one of the Gorillaz spits out an entire one-eyed octopus, Snoop Dogg, De La Soul, and Lou Reed are just driving around in submarines (NBD), there is a giant beached rhino whale with a creepy alien man scratching his back, and we end up at the Gorillaz secret hide-out which resembles the place the Jetsons lived. I’m hungry. The end.
